SAINT CAECILIA (ALSO SAINT CECILIA)

Caecilian Enterprises Pty Limited, the company which has produced this informational site, is named after St. Caecilia and her Saints Day falls on November 22 every year. She is the patron saint of music and musicians (as well as, to a much lesser extent, being recognised as the patron saint of the blind).

Special Note: Caecilian Enterprises Pty Limited is not a religiously oriented company. The use of St Caecilia is purely for the musical and harmony associations as outlined below and the directors and employees are not specifically religiously oriented, each following his or her own beliefs.

The above name was chosen, principally as a result of the inclusion of Caecilian Music Services, our music typesetting and recording division. Further is the concept of the various divisions of the company, including our other main divisions, Caecilian Bookkeeping Services, Caecilian Design Services and Caecilian Web Services, working in harmony (musical blending in a figurative way) with each other. It should be noted in this web site that we have mostly used the original Latin spelling of the name, that is to say Caecilia, as opposed to the more modern Cecilia, which is very much in use for this particular saint.

Below are three links, firstly one which leads to a short history/biography of St Caecilia, herself, and the second is to provide details of how St Caecilia has inspired both music and verse, particulary in recent centuries. The third (in the middle) is so you are able to contact us, if you have any comments or suggestions. We hope you might find this information interesting and it is provided for those who are interested in delving further into this both historical and current information (current because St Caecilia is still being celebrated in our time, which one of the images in the music and verse section demonstrates).
